Welcome to the guitarsbyleo.com Forums: G&LDP (aka G&L Forum) / G&L Knowledgebase Forum / Marketplace Forum!

These forums are part of the G&L Enthusiasts website, guitarsbyleo.com (aka GbL).
If you got here directly (ie. from a search), make sure to also register on the GbL,
by going to https://www.guitarsbyleo.com and then selecting the User Profiles button.
This will get you access to the G&L Registry and the User Profiles sections.
We suggest you use the same password which you use for the forums, so that you only need to remember one password.
Note that the ampersand character ('&') is not an allowable password character for the GbL password.
Also, bookmark https://www.guitarsbyleo.com, so that you have full access to all parts of the GbL.

The G&LDP (aka G&L Forum) is made up of various sub-forums. Many of these sub-forums have a README or READ THIS FIRST post
in the Announcements section, which gives some information and guidelines for that sub-forum.
So, please check that post out before posting in any of those sub-forums.

Check out the User Control Panel of the forums. You can customize your view of the forums: setting board preferences,
updating your profile, managing subscriptions, etc. And, please do add your location to your user profile.
See the FAQ: How do I change my settings?, for details on updating your user profile.
Note: If you change your email address, you will be notified that the Admin would have to approve the change;
you will be logged off and your account will be marked inactive. Once the Admin gets notification of change,
Admin will re-activate your account and you will be notified.

Before posting, please take a moment to read our GbL History & G&LDP/G&L Knowledgebase/Marketplace Guidelines.
Then, please do make your first post to the Introductions sub-forum and tell us a little about yourself
and how you found out about G&L Instruments and our website. See FAQ-How do I post a topic in a forum?

Here are some tutorials on posting photos, videos, and audio files:
Tutorial: Posting photos
Tutorial: Posting YouTube videos
Tutorial: Posting audio files

If you have any G&L questions, take a look at the G&L Knowledgebase Forum for the answers.
If you don't find them there, check out the G&LDP (aka G&L Forum) sub-forums.
Helpful Hint: At the bottom of each sub-forum you will find the
"Display topics from previous:" settings. Try using the Sort by Subject setting.
Also, check out the Search facility. You can focus your search within a group of forums
and/or sub-forums. Also, see: An Alternative to using Forum Search ....
If you still don't find the answer, Post your question(s) in the General G&L Questions or
G&L Technical Questions & Tips sub-forums of the G&L Knowledgebase.

Bookmarking: The forum has bookmarking of topics and keeps the bookmarks in your User Control Panel under Manage bookmarks. See FAQ.
To create browser bookmarks, you need to view the page you wish to bookmark in a separate tab or window by bringing up the
browser sub-menu (usually right click over the link) and select Open Link in New Tab or Open Link in New Window.
Then, in the new tab or window you can bookmark that link address.

Copy Link Address: If you want to copy the link address of a post, move the mouse pointer over to the subject name link of the post and
bring up the browser sub-menu (usually right click over the link), then select Copy Link Address.

IMPORTANT- Posting External Links: BEFORE you post any external link, you must check the link
using the instructions in this post: How to check links using the urlvoid website.
Note that (some) https links may not open directly on our forums. See: Added new BBCode for opening url link in a new tab ....

We also have a free member's Marketplace Forum for posting For Sale and Want Ads, and Public Service Announcements.
Please review the Marketplace Guidelines, before posting there: New GbL Marketplace Guidelines.

Oh, and don't forget to register your G&L instrument(s) in the G&L Registry.

And, remember: they do not exist without pictures! :searching:

Note to G&L dealers who have joined as members, please let me know,
so I can add you to the G&L Dealer members group.
